Orlando Win - Update

Last week I posted that I had won a family holiday to Orlando staying at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal with the Alan Titchmarsh hotel on ITV.

I have been tolf today that in the next couple of weeks, I will receive my prize pack from America with a form to fill in to request my preferred dates.

I am hoping that I will be able to ask this lady if I can extend the holiday for a few days.

I decided today as things seem to be progressing to tell my daughters (age 8 and 5).

They were over the moon!

I said to my eldest that I had won a competition and asked her if I coudl win anything in the world, what would she want me to win. She said a holiday to Florida! I wound her up a bit telling her I had won something else, then told her the truth.

She actually had tears in her eyes - it was very sweet.

Will keep you up to date with the arrangements.
